DBC Pierre on Editing - Top Tip

Last Tuesday, I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a talk with the infamous author, DBC Pierre at the Oxford Street Arts Factory.
DBC Pierre spoke eruditely, eloquently and with aplomb, in his usual 'bad boy of literature' way, and answered questions from the audience, written on Sydney Writers' Festival compliments slips, and drawn from a fish bowl. (My question -prompted by a friend - raised a few laughs: 'What would it take to get you to come to my book club?' but was, unfortunately, charismatically dismissed!)
One of the most interesting responses, certainly from an editor's perspective, was to 'Why do you write under a pseudonym?' DBC Pierre replied that it enabled him to review and edit his writing objectively, an intentional disconnect from his self-consciousness, heritage and past. An the top tip - 'Use a decoy duck'.
